Is an industrious two-way forward who can produce offense at lower levels and play both center and wing up front. Can be tenacious on the forecheck.

Flaws:

Doesn't have high-end skill or the ability to produce good offensive numbers at the National Hockey League level. Is also a tad undersized for the NHL game.

Career Potential:

Hard-working depth forward.
